Commentary on Numbers 32:42

Theological / Devotional

Nobah. Compare Judges 8:11. Evidently a prominent prince.

Kenath. Identified with Qanawat, some 60 mi. due east of the Sea of Galilee (see 1 Chron. 2:23).

Called it Nobah. It is probable that 60 towns were taken. Jair, as the leader of the expedition, kept 23 for himself and divided the remainder among those who took part with him in the campaign. Nobah was one of these.
